More succinct, especially noticeable in cases like unwrapping/re-wrapping and using infix operators:

foo (Qty a) (Qty b) (Qty c) =
   Qty (a + b * c)

rate =
    x |> Qty.plus y |> Qty.per z

Slightly more cryptic, but 'Qty' is a pretty common short form of 'Quantity'.

Tried it briefly, seemed messy - closing this for now, might revisit it later.
